Thursday's story ideas

What are the road regulations for golf carts? I'm seeing more and more of these being used to run errands... are they street legal in your market?

Easiest way to cut expenses for many is to quit smoking. Are non-smoking products and/ or "quit smoking" classes popular where you live?

It's hurricane season, and FEMA has announced it will no longer give out ice in the event of a disaster. What will state and local officials do?

Back to school lunches. Many parents will find out those cheap school lunches won't be a bargain this fall as soaring food prices will force schools to pass on the cost.

Immigration officials are going to be more vigilant when checking employers who might hire illegal immigrants.

Will tax holidays disappear? Those nice little breaks states give people during hurricane and back-to-school season might just vanish as states scramble to make ends meet. Florida has cancelled its August holiday... what's happening in your state?

Outbreak of measles. Are parents not getting their kids vaccinated, and if not, why not?

USAir drops movies from some flights because the movie systems weigh 500 pounds. They'll save ten million in fuel. Show consumers how much they have to lighten the load in their cars to save a dollar. (Easy start... take the golf clubs out of the trunk.)
